SANITARY TOILET-BOWL.

Application filed April 3, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER D. GRANT, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at San Jose, in the county of Santa Clara and State of California, have invented new and 'useful Improvements in Sanitary T oilet- Bowls, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to toilet bowls and means for more perfectly cleansing, deodorizing, and rendering the bowl sanitary.

It consists of a compartment container so located, with relation to the seat and the water and flushing supply, that it may contain the deodorizer and the disinfectant in the separated compartment, and means to deflect the water into and through one compartment and thence to, around and through the bowl, and also to overflow into the other compartment and thence slowly into the bowl as an after-wash and disinfectant.

It also comprises details of construction, one form of which will be more fully eX- plained by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure l is a sectional elevation through line 1-1 of Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a section through line 22 of Fig l.

The toilet bowl A may be of any suitable or well-known form, with a receiving bowl and winding discharge passages. The rim B of the bowl has a tubular passage 2 around in each direction from the rear, to conduct a portion of the wash water from the inlet passage. The lower side of the passage 2 is perforated at 2 to allow jets to discharge therefrom around the interior of the bowl, and the inner side of the bowl rim has passages 3, at the front and rear, which direct a suficient supply to these points to wash and cleanse these parts which receive an amount of soiling while the downward discharge completes the wash around the sides of the bowl.

A is the inlet pipe connecting with the passage 4*, here shown as entering vertically and thence extending horizontally, with a passage 5 opening into the passage 2 of the rim; a passage 6 opening into the top and rear of the bowl; and a passage 7 for the disinfectant.

WVithin the angle of the passage 4?, as here shown, is located a container 8 having a par tition 9 extending upwardly so as to separate the container into two compartments. The com artm nt ,8 has the side adjac nt o Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 88,505.

the inlet pipe 4: perforated, as at 11, and a projection 10, in the pipe 4:, acts to divert a portion of the inlet water through these perforations into the contiguous part of the container which is supplied with a solid but soluble deodorant. Perforations 12 allow the solution from the container to flow through the bottom into the passage 4 to impregnate the direct flow through said passage on its way through the passages 5, 6 and 7 to the bowl. As more water enters the compartment 8 than can readily flow out, a portion overflows the partition 9 into the second compartment where the disinfectant is contained, and as this port has only small discharge openings 13 the solution in this chamber will be retained until the main flush has passed through the bowl, and will thereafter pass out through the passage 7 and will charge the remaining contents of the bowl with a disinfectant. This action takes place at each emptying and washing of the bowl, and will thus constantly deodorize and disinfect the bowl. A removable cap 14 serves for the introduction of the soluble substance into the container 8.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- 1. In a toilet bowl of the character described, a channeled and perforated rim, a flush water supply pipe with a passage 5 from said pipe into the rim, a passage 6 into the upper interior part of the bowl below the rim, a passage 7 in the rear wall of the bowl leading from the main supply pipe and dis charging into the bottom of the bowl, and an elevated diverting dam between said last two passages.

2. A toilet bowl having a flushing inlet and a plurality of connecting distributers, a containing chamber located contiguous to the inlet, said chamber having a transverse half partition, orifices through which water may be delivered into the first chamber and transferred to the second, and means wherebythe contents of the first chamber escapes directly into the bowl and also indirectly over the partition and to the bottom of the bowl.

3. A toilet bowl flushing device, includ ing an inlet pipe, a perforated, two-part container with a partition, orifices in the container, a diversion lug in the inlet pipe eoacting to divert water into the first and second compartments successively, and independent passages from the first and sec ond compartments.

4;. The combination with a toilet bowl, of a flush water inlet a plurality of containing compartments, located contiguous to the flush Water inlet having a communicating passage, perforations between the inlet and the first compartment, whereby the compartments are successively flooded, a receiver beneath the compartments, discharge orifices in the bottoms of the compartments, and a plurality of passages from the re- Oopies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents, I

Washington, D. C.

ceiver through which, flow from the inlet and the compartments, is directed into the bowl rim, to the top of the bowl and to the I bottom of the bowl successively.
